Troubleshooting

The LaCie 2big Triple has three LED indicators – one on the front of the drive and two on the back (one for each 

drive) which can indicate the current state of the 2big or problems it may be experiencing.

Front LED is solid blue.

Rear LEDs are solid blue when the 2big is inactive and blinking during drive activity.

The fan may be malfunctioning.
A drive may be improperly inserted.

Look at the drive LEDs on the back. 
If one of the drive LEDs is also blinking red and blue, make sure the drive is properly inserted. Follow the steps 

in section 

3.4. Removing and Installing Drives

 to remove and re-insert the drive. 

If the drive LED continues to blink red and blue after it has been re-inserted, the drive may be defective. Contact 

LaCie Customer Support (section 

5. Contacting Customer Support

).

In RAID 1 mode (SAFE 100) a data rebuild may be in progress.

Look at the drive LEDs on the back. 
If a data rebuild is in progress, the drive being rebuilt will blink red and the drive being read will blink blue.
After the rebuild, the rebuilt drive will blink blue rapidly while the 2big checks the rebuild. 

RAID is not functioning or the 2big cannot determine the RAID setting.

If the front LED is solid blue, but either of the drive LEDs on the back is off, the drive may be incorrectly inserted 

or may have failed. 

Follow the steps in section 

3.4. Removing and Installing Drives

 to remove and re-insert the drive. 

If the drive LED continues to be OFF after it has been re-inserted, the drive may be defective. Contact LaCie Cus-

tomer Support (section
